A Provincial conference on Active Transportation and Recreation

The conference is bringing together leaders, experts and people with a passion to share knowledge, ideas, challenges and successes. If you are a municipal leader, parks and recreation practitioner, health professional, trail advocate, cycling enthusiast, pedestrian, planner, engineer, elder, community volunteer or resident of Manitoba – you have something to share and to learn!

The Physical Activity Coalition of Manitoba (PACM) is putting the spotlight on 3 smaller Manitoba communities who are gaining ground in their pursuit to increase the quality of life in their community. Hear how distinctly different, tailor-made solutions are being developing and put into action.

You are invited to submit, present and share your own community’s success stories in our 5 slides / 5 minutes/5 highlights session.

Connect coast to coast with leaders who are working directly in communities with local, provincial and national governments to integrate active transportation, recreation, and and development with research and the very critical funding component.
